Introduction

The Spray ECU is a new generation spray controller to used in conjunction with the NEW

X20 or ZYNX X15 consoles brought to you by KEE Technologies. The Console is the graphical

interface of the Spray ECU controller. The Spray ECU replaces the KEE Sprayrate Interface.

The Spray ECU can control up to 30 section valves (3 wire) and allows Automatic Section

Control (ASC) of the 30 section valves (the X15 Console can control up 15 sections under

ASC). The Spray ECU can control up 2 liquid tanks directly. If the Spray ECU is used in

conjunction with a Multi-Drive Electronic Control (MDECU) unit, it can control up to 3 liquid

injection tanks.

The Spray ECU can handle ‘Boom Sensing’ inputs therefore can be connected to existing

Remote switches. The Spray ECU also has a new feature called ‘Section Mapping’ which

allows one section switch to control a number of section valves. Therefore the existing KEE

Switchbox or Remote switches (usually 6 or 8 switches) can control all 30 section valves

when they are controlled manually. The ZYNX sprayer software sets up the section mapping

automatically. The ASC still controls all 30 section valves individually.

The Spray ECU can control Regulator or Proportional type control valves. The Spray ECU can

control ‘3 Wire’, ‘2 Wire’ (reverse polarity) or solenoid type section valves.

2. Install the Power/Comms Harness. Route the red and black wires to a 12 volt battery.

DO NOT CONNECT TO BATTERY, UNTIL INSTALLATION IS COMPLETE.

Use the cable ties provided to secure the Power/Comms Harness away from hot and

moving parts and to avoid chaffing and wear.

3. Plug the ‘Switched Power’ connector that is located on the Power/Comms Harness, into

the ‘Switched Power’ connector on the ZYNX Power Cable. If this connection is already

utilized, connect it via the A1953 Power Splitter Harness. This connection ensures that

the Spray ECU is only powered up when the ZYNX Console is switched ON.

4. One end of the Power/Comms Harness has 'DB 9-Pin' Comms Cable connection.

Connect this cable to the next available COM Port at the back of the ZYNX Console.

5. Connect the other end of the Power/Comms Harness to the 16-pin connector marked

‘POWER/COMMS’ on the Spray ECU.

Figure 2: Spray ECU 30S

Installing the Spray ECU

6. Connect the Sprayer Switchbox, shown in Figure 3, to the '9-pin connector marked

SWITCHBOX on the Spray ECU. Then mount the Sprayer Switchbox using the double-

sided tape supplied or other suitable means. Mount the Sprayer Switchbox in a

position which is easily accessible while spraying.

Note: The Sprayer Switchbox can be used so, one switch, switches one boom section

ON and OFF. If the sprayer has more than six boom sections then the ZYNX Sprayer

software can be setup so that one section switch, switches more than one boom section

ON and OFF. The operator can custom map the boom sections.

See Section 17.10 for details of the functions of the Sprayer switchbox.

All KEE Sprayer kits come with their installation guide which is specific to each kit,

please use the specific installation guide which come with your KEE Sprayer kit. This

section is a general guide for an installation of all KEE Spray ECU 30S Sprayer kits.

This installation guide will take the installer through the following steps:

1.2.1 Installing the Tractor Harness

1.2.2 Installing the Sprayer Harness

1.2.3 Installing the Valve Harness

1.2.1 Installing

the

Tractor

Harness

1. Connect the Tractor Harness to the 37-Pin connector marked CONNECTOR 1, on the

Spray ECU. Figure 4 shows the in-cabin assembly showing Spray ECU, Power/Comms

Harness, Switchbox and Tractor Harness.

2. Run the Tractor Harness from the Spray ECU to the drawbar or the back of the vehicle.

Ensure that the Tractor Harness is tied away from moving, hot or sharp objects. Do not

cut or splice the Tractor Harness, all excess cable should be strapped away to avoid

vibration and wear.

3. If the Tractor Harness has ‘2’ 37 pin connectors, then connect the ‘37’ pin connector

(male pins) marked ‘CONNECTOR 1’ to the plug marked ‘CONNECTOR 1’ on the Spray

ECU. Then connect the ‘37’ pin connector (female pins) marked ‘CONNECTOR 2’ to the

plug marked ‘CONNECTOR 2’ on the Spray ECU.

Note: As a general rule the ‘CONNECTOR 2’ plug is only required if:

a) The sprayer has more than 10 boom sections.

b) The sprayer has more than ‘2’ tanks.

c) The Spray ECU is connecting to external switches which control the boom

sections (boom sensing); for example boom section switches on a ‘T Bar’ or

‘Joy Stick’ or other ‘third party’ section switches.

4. Normally ‘CONNECTOR 3’ (16 pin) is only required if the sprayer requires extra

pressure inputs, tank level sensors and extra encoder inputs. See Wiring Connections

table for the Spray ECU 30S (A2643) controller for wiring pin-outs;( See Section 21.7).

5. The Tractor Harness has a 3-pin Weather Pack connector labeled Ground Speed, either

an A328 Shaft/Speed Sensor Kit or A449 Radar Sensor Interface Harness (not included

in this kit) can be connected to this connector. Typically the Radar Sensor Interface

Harness would be connected to the Tractor Harness Ground Speed connector. Only

one (1) speed connector must be used at any one time. Refer to 1.2.2 for installing

the Shaft/Speed Sensor Kit or Radar Sensor Interface Harness.

connects to the Valve Harness which is supplied as part of this kit.

Note: The Sprayer Harness may have other connectors, refer to the Sprayer Installation kit that

came with your sprayer kit for more information. The Dump Valve connector may be located

on the Sprayer Harness. If the Valve Harness has an ‘Arag Interface box’ incorporated into the

Valve Harness, then the ‘Dump Valve’ connector will be located on the Valve Harness.

Troubleshooting Tip: For testing purposes on all 3-pin sensor connectors (Shaft/Speed Sensor

and Flow Meter) the voltage on each pin should be as follows: Pin A: +5 VDC Signal, Pin B:

Ground, Pin C: +12VDC Sensor Power. Refer to Figure 6 below:

Speed

1. The Shaft/Speed Sensor and Wheel Stud Magnets can be fitted to any un-driven ground

wheel, for example: front wheel of tractor or wheel on trailing sprayer. The magnet

activates the sensor as the wheel magnets sweep past. Refer to Figure 8.

Note: Use of a driven wheel for ground speed may be subject to "wheel slip" and may

not always reflect true ground speed.

Figure 6 : 3-Pin Weather Pack Sensor

Installation of Spray ECU 30S KEE Sprayer Kits

2. Glue the magnets to the wheel studs with the side marked with a cross (+) facing the

Shaft/Speed Sensor. Use any silicone or epoxy type adhesive allowing adequate time

to set. Ensure that the magnets are spaced equally around the wheel to ensure

accurate speed update. To ensure adequate speed update place magnets onto ALL of

the available wheel studs. A Wheel Calibration Factor of no greater than 0.6m (24

inches) is required. Please note that the Hose Clamp and Magnetic Block are not used

in this case.

3. The Shaft/Speed Sensor must be rigidly mounted to an existing structure on the axle,

ideally in a protected position to face the magnet. The Mounting Bracket Assemblies

(slotted brackets and angle brackets with hose clamps) provided can be used to

construct a mounting bracket refer Figure 7 or you may fabricate your own mounting

bracket to suit the sprayer chassis.

4. The Shaft/Speed Sensor to Wheel Stud Magnet distance needs to be 2 to 3 mm (1/16 to

1/8 inch). The Shaft/Speed Sensor must be mounted so that the Wheel Stud Magnets

pass the sensor evenly and squarely.

5. Protect the Shaft/Speed Sensor and wiring from damage if necessary by welding or

bolting a suitable plate over the. Damage to the front face of the Shaft/Speed Sensor

will stop the speed readout and prevent the controller from working.

6. If the Shaft/Speed Sensor is mounted on a steered wheel, then make sure the sensor

moves with the steering mechanism, to maintain constant clearance between the

magnets and the sensor when the wheel is turning from lock to lock.

7. Use the 3-pin Weather Pack Extension provided if required, connecting the Shaft/Speed

Sensor to either the Ground Speed connector on the Tractor Harness or Sprayer

Harness.

Installation

of

a

Shaft/Speed

Sensor

kit

to

a

tail

shaft

1. On a tray mounted sprayer the Shaft/Speed Sensor Kit can used to read from the

vehicle tail-shaft. Refer to Figure 9. Using the Hose Clamp or other suitable means

securely mount the Magnet Block on the flange between the transmission housing and

the tail shaft. Note: Do not attach the Magnet Block directly to the tail shaft as its

position changes through its rotation. The Wheel Stud Magnets are not used in this

case.

2. Using an existing bolt on the transmission housing and the supplied Mounting Brackets

or other suitable means, securely mount the Shaft/Speed Sensor so it squarely faces the

Magnet Block with a clearance of 2 to 3mm (1/16 to 1/8 inch).

3. Ensure that the Shaft/Speed Sensor is firmly attached and protected so that it cannot

be damaged by wire or stones. If necessary cover the Shaft/Speed Sensor with a plate.

4. Use the 3-pin Weather Pack Extension provided if required, connecting the Shaft/Speed

Sensor to the Ground Speed connector on the Tractor Harness or Sprayer Harness.

Using

an

existing

radar

speed

sensor

for

ground

speed

1. An optional Radar Sensor Interface Harness (A449 - not provided as part of this kit but

may be ordered separately) allows direct connection to any existing radar speed sensor

on the tractor.

2. Connect the Radar Sensor Interface Harness to the Ground Speed connector on the

Sprayer Harness or Tractor Harness then connect this wire to the signal wire from the

radar sensor (not provided) to enable the Spray ECU to read the speed. Note: Check

the radar sensor manufacturer's manual before attempting connection. Use the

Extension Harness provided if required connecting the radar sensor to the Ground

Speed connector on either the Sprayer Harness or Tractor Harness.

Installation of Spray ECU 30S KEE Sprayer Kits

Connecting

to

Flow

Meter

1. The flow meter (not supplied) is installed between the regulator valve and the section

valves. The flow meter will be installed so that it measures ONLY the quantity of liquid

being delivered to the spray line.

Note: There must be no return line to tank or pump after the flow meter.

2. Connect the flow meter 3-pin connector to the 3-pin connector marked Flow Meter 1

on the Sprayer Harness.

Note: The flow meter may require a connector change to attach to the 3-pin connector

marked Flow Meter 1 on the Sprayer Harness. Refer to the flow meter manufacturer's

specifications for correct pin allocation. Care should be taken when replacing these

connectors not to damage the Sprayer Harness or flow meter and connectors should

be fully circuit tested prior to installation.

3. Most flow meters have a label on the meter body that shows the flow meter

Calibration Factor in pulses/volume. For example: '645 ppl' (pulses per litre) or 2441

ppg (pulses per gallon). This value is the Calibration Factor and will be required to be

entered into the sprayer software setup. This means the flow meter sends 645 pulses

to the Spray ECU for every litre (or 2441 pulses for every gallon) of liquid that passes

through the flow meter.

4. For connection to a Raven flow meter: The value marked on the label represents

pulses/10 units of liquid. Divide this number by 10 for the correct value to enter as the

Calibration Factor into the Sprayer Software Setup.

Connecting

to

the

Regulator

Valve

1. The regulator valve (not supplied) is a motorized flow control valve used to maintain

the product flow to the section valves. It will be situated between the pump and the

flow meter.

2. All bypass or agitation return lines that return to tank must be taken before the

regulating valve, so there is no return path after the regulating valve and the flow

sensor.

3. Using the Regulator Valve Adaptor Harness (A802) connect the regulator valve's 2-pin

connector to the 2-pin connector marked REG Valve 1 on the Sprayer Harness.

Note: The regulator valve may require a connector change to attach to the 2-pin

connector marked REG Valve 1 on the Sprayer Harness. Refer to the regulator valve

manufacturer's specifications for correct pin allocation. Care should be taken when

replacing these connectors not to damage the Sprayer Harness or regulator valve and

connectors should be fully circuit tested prior to installation.

4. When you test the sprayer with water you may find that the regulator valve works in

the opposite direction than is required. For example the pressure increases when it

should decrease. You can set the "Reverse Valve Direction" in the Sprayer Setup

software to remedy this.

Pressure

Sensor

installation

and

connection

1. Mount the Pressure Sensor (A092) either upright or horizontal and support the brass

gauge saver. To properly measure Spray Line operating pressure the Pressure Sensor

must be positioned between the flow meter and the section valves. The supplied

Pressure Sensor is a 5 Bar (72 psi) pressure sensor.

2. Connect the Pressure Adaptor Harness (H1125) to the connector labeled Pressure Sensor 1

on the Sprayer Harness.

3. Undo the two (2) nuts on top of the Pressure Sensor.

4. Place the two ring terminals on the Pressure Adaptor Harness onto the terminals on the

Pressure Sensor. It doesn't matter which way around the terminals are attached to the

Pressure Sensor.

5. Once the ring terminals are placed on the Pressure Sensor terminals replace the two (2)

nuts and tighten the nuts securely.

1.2.3 Installing

the

Valve

Harness

1. The Valve Harness continues from the connector on the Sprayer Harness and connects to

the Section and Dump Valves on the Sprayer.

2. The Valve Harness normally contains connectors for the section valves; either they are; ‘3

Wire section valves’, ‘2 Wire Section Valves’ or ‘solenoid valves’.

See below for an

explanation of the different types of section valves..

Note: If the Valve Harness has an Arag Interface box incorporated into the harness, then

the Dump Valve plug will be on the Valve Harness.

5. The typical Valve Harness has the following connectors, they are labeled as follows:

DDuummpp

11-

connects to the Dump Valve.

SSeeccttiioonn

XX-

connects to the Section Valves. ‘X’ represents the section number.

SSpprraayyeerr

HHaarrnneessss-

connects to the Sprayer Harness.

3. There are different Valve Harness depending on which type of section valves on fitted on

the sprayer.

Note: If the Valve looms need to be re-terminated because the connectors are different to

the section valves being connected to, then make sure the ‘Sprayer Harness’ is

disconnected from the ‘Tractor Harness’. Otherwise damage to the Spray ECU

wwiillll

occur if

the wires are shorted out during the installation.

4. Secure the Valve Harness away from moving, hot or sharp objects to avoid chaffing and

wear, using the cable ties provided.

6. Connect the Valve Harness to the Sprayer Harness.
